Just to add some evidence from my news site --

Star Wars RPG, 3E & the D20 System: WotC's Andy Collins summarized
the current info on the forthcoming Star Wars RPG (on the Star
Wars message board):
*The Star Wars RPG will be a complete RPG in a single hardback
book.
*[He adds in a separate message,] There will, of course, be a
line of support products, but the game itself will be contained
within one book.
*It will use the "D20 System" of core mechanics.
*You will NOT need to buy the [D&D] 3E PHB or any other book
in order to play Star Wars.

Oh, it'll be D20, no question. Does it seem plausible that WotC
would produce a non-D20 game given that they've killed Alternity
and that Ryan Dancey has said that he wants to use D20 to eliminate
competitive systems?
Besides, WotC has as much incentive as any other company to keep
the difficulty of switching between their games low. The only
reason they wouldn't make it D20 is if Lucasfilm insists on something
else. Which isn't impossible...WEG wanted to port Star Wars to
Masterbook, but Lucas forced them not to.
However, I agree with you that WotC will produce a book that's
complete in itself. It'll be a lot harder to market the game
to non-gamers if they have to go get a copy of D&D as well.
